This was the chair to be salvaged.
The old netting was stripped out. It was cleaned and and painted with a coat of black paint.
A para chord was bought (it comes by weight and cheap - around 200 rs per kg). It is wound on a make shift bobbin. This bobbin is important so that it can be meshed back and forth with ease.
Before the meshing, a black parachord was wound at four courners of the base and back to make the area a rectangle so as to make meshing easy. Every where a constriction knot was used to have a firm long lasting knot.
Once the corners done, the white parachord was meshed in a manner to have the chord running over the back base pipe and under the back base pipe evenly so as to get a tight base.
The bobbin came handy to work swiftly without parachord getting entangled while going over and under the base and back pipes.
The scale was used to separate the over and under para chords. so that the cross black para chord could be woven back and forth easily.
The result is here!!
Cost of new chair - 3000 - 3500 rs
Cost of old chair given to refurbish (for weaving only!!) - 2500 rs
Cost of old chair if refurbished at home (as hobby) - 250 rs.
You have to decide how you are going to spend your time.
I prefer the third option (critics will always roast me for not contributing to the nations economy though !!!!!)
